Your New Moon in Scorpio Moonscope November 20 2025

The black pearl of a new moon falls conjunct retrograde Mercury in Scorpio and entangles with retrograde Neptune in Pisces and retrograde Jupiter in Cancer forming a Grand Water Trine. Scorpio is the sign of rebirth and transformation. So, look to what is being ‘reborn’ into your life now.

The new moon is also in dynamic opposition to Uranus retrograde in Taurus. This is about our values as much as it may be about our money, as both Taurus and Scorpio rule these. Scorpio is all about the boundaries. Boundaries are what define our worth and our values. So, part of what is being reborn into our lives may well be a re-forged value system. And if we have been afraid to say ‘This and no further’ – this is the point when we find our courage to take a stand.

This is a late new moon as it appears just two days before the Sun exits Scorpio for Sagittarius at 28 degrees of Scorpio. Water signs especially should check their charts for factors within one degree either side of the new moon. If your chart contains some, then you won’t be able to miss the deep reset occurring in a specific area of your life.

Because this new moon appears against a big retrograde backdrop, ‘re’ words apply rather than new beginnings. Reclaim, revise, renew, reset, restore, regenerate, realign, return, relaunch. And for those of you in Europe and the UK – the new moon appears on Beaujolais Nouveau Day. Whether you will be actually raising a glass or not after 12.01 pm (the new moon appears at 06.47am) – uncork a new vintage experience from something that’s been quietly fermenting and is now fresh and ready to enjoy.

ARIES

Rebirth comes after release, Aries. What is it you have been letting go of during the past few weeks? Perhaps it is merely the desire to lighten your life and to rise unencumbered and liberated from what weighs you down? Many Aries will have been decluttering or looking at what they need to shed. Sometimes the ‘stuff’ that weighs us down are painful memories, old habits and cycles that are on rinse and repeat.

‘Liberation’ has been a word which has become somewhat over-used of late. But with this new moon across from Uranus in your 2^nd, this is what you have been asked to do. To liberate yourself from anything that weighs you do and which no longer aligns with your values. Or how you value yourself.

Since Saturn and Neptune left your sign you will have been pulled back to what ties you to your past. Yes of course there are those memories, people and even things loaded with the feel goods. But there’s also those items filled with nostalgia but which you no longer use, to re-living ‘the good old days’, or even the bad ones, which still get far too much airtime in your head. Against the retro-backdrop of the sky, you have been asked to lighten up and let go – literally. Especially from anything which disempowers you. What you hold on to or try to control, cannot evolve you. Another ‘re’ word is relax. All in preparation for this new moon re-boot of Aries 2.0. Refined, restored, renewed, reborn.

TAURUS

The new moon lights up your relationship sector. And the Grand Water Trine surges across your houses of communication, community and connection. With your axis of You + Me fully activated thanks to the moon’s opposition to newly returned Uranus in your 1^st, you are not only looking closely at the give-and-take dynamics in all your relationships – from your partner to your profession and even your friendships, but also how authentic these allow you to be. Do you feel free to show up as the real you and be loved and accepted – just the way you are? Or are there T&C’s?

Yes, you can find yourself falling in love all over again, to quote The Shires. Plus you now understand that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be resonant and right. You’re not perfect – and neither is the other party. What matters is you are perfect for one another.

Singles should still keep pause pressed on the search for that significant other – until Mercury ends its retrograde. But the pearl of wisdom gifted to you by this new moon conjunct retro Mercury is that if you have been buying into the false narrative that you somehow have to attain a more ‘perfect’ version of you to be loved – thinner, smarter, more successful, tweaked or filtered, that’s shown for the utter *&%$@! it is now. Let that go. ‘Re’ words rule under retrogrades. Reciprocity is one. Know the one we always forget? Ready. Ready for a more refined and resonant love. And ready to accept it by loving yourself. Just the way you are right now, Taurus.

GEMINI

The Scorpio new moon falls in your work and health sector. Conjunct your retro ruler Mercury which just happens to rule all these things. A retro-twist on the K.I.S.S rule applies now: Keep It Simply Slow. Revisit, refine, realign. Especially that sacred mind/body/soul trinity which the Grand Water Trine formed by the new moon and Mercury brings into prominence when it comes to your work flow, career and what you do each day. Whether this is paid or unpaid.

Uranus now sits in your 12^th house ready to deliver a revelation and potentially a release from those habits, routine or anything that drains you or keeps you stuck. One thing Uranus doesn’t do is pointless repartition. You may radically overhaul that work/life dynamic. Especially if what you are doing has made you feel weirdly unmotivated and flatlined of late.

Life has a rhythm. Like a great R&B track it should set the beat to your day. One that energises you and uplifts. Hey Mr. DJ – mix me something new with this new moon. No more mindlessly going through the motions to elevator music. Retrogrades always ask us to slow down. Because when we rush or go through our days on cruise control, we miss important clues and signals which link us to the bigger picture. Scorpio is the sign of transformation and rebirth. Your body may have been broadcasting loud and clear that something you do each day no longer does you any good. But you may have been either too busy to hear it. Or else shoved it aside telling yourself you’ll deal with it when you have more time. That time is now. Renewal begins with making one small change. Which may start slow but then gains momentum and has a domino effect on so many other areas. Powerfully simple, Gemini.

CANCER

Re-embrace the sheer bliss of the power of joy. Yes, the new moon is in your house of love and romance. But whether you are settled or single, the joy you feel fuels every area of your life – not just romantically but creativity, with how you express yourself, your pastimes and hobbies and across non-romantic relationships such as with your children or friendships. Joy is the deepest kind of letting go – we cease to care about what others think and even loose track of time, and also the most powerful and potent force of attraction. When we are joyful, we radiate and this simply magnestizes more to feel joyful about which is drawn to us effortlessly.

Recapture what use to bring you joy is this has been lost. The new moon’s conjunction with retro Mercury and its trines to both retrograde Neptune and Jupiter in your sign point to a revival. While its opposition to Uranus now back in your 11^th points to shared experiences and also those old goals you pursue joyfully.

If your thoughts have just drifted towards the card of the 6 of Cups in the Tarot – with its image of reawakened childhood bliss – you’re right on the money, Cancer! Happiness and what makes you eternally glow, is actually right where you left it. It’s not something you are waiting for. So, you may pick up a past passion or hobby. Reconnect to old friends or even a group. Cease to care about what the critics may think. Or whether you are actually any ‘good’ at what it is you like to do. That’s your inner critic. Create without the critique. The joy is in doing it and that it makes you feel alive.

Wrap yourself in joy like it’s the most exclusive designer outfit. Made especially for you. Wear it with happiness and pride. Above all, due to the retrograde elements across the sky right now, focus on what you have right in front of you that brings you joy – or which you have set aside and can reclaim. Joy is not found in the chase or the pursuit. It’s waiting for you right where you are under this new moon. No chasing required.

LEO

Scorpio is the sign where your emotional foundations reside. And with retro-active planets in residence in your houses of the past, emotional wisdom and change, you’re homeward bound as this moons stirs the tides under your feet. What truly supports you, the structures which create your emotional foundations and what’s built to last, can’t be swept away. But old pains and what no longer shelters while offering you room to grow, may wash away now in order for you to move into something better.

All new moons conjunct your ruler the Sun. So for a while they are invisible until the two separate. A good metaphor for this one is ‘behind closed doors’ as it is fuelled by retrograde Mercury, Jupiter retrograde in your house of secrets and hidden truths, and Neptune retrograde in your 8^th. So this is about what the world doesn’t yet see. And this applies to your past as well as a current situation. You may not be ready to reveal what that next move is just yet. Or simply move on it. This new moon does offer up freedom however thanks to its opposition to Uranus in your 10^th. Perhaps via a long overdue emotional closure when you finally and firmly slam the door on the past. Or an actual move or career cycle.

What is built to last takes patience – and commitment. You need to first lay those foundations. Create the structure and build on it. Again, you may be engaged in this on the down-low. You’ve also got a very clear idea of what you need in term of shelter, protection and sending those roots deeper so you can grow further. You’re days away from your yearly glow-up cycle, Leo. So take care of business that’s close to home. Your heart knows where it wants to be – or with whom as ‘home’ can be a person, a family or even the path that leads to coming home to ourselves. There’s no emotional place like it.

VIRGO

Turn the page and prepare for a new chapter when it comes to your ideas, projects, plans, words and pictures and online life. All of which deepen and gain resonance and new relevance in your third house. Presided over by ruler Mercury which has a retrograde encounter with the new moon in here. Revisions, revisits and revivals may feature. You may resurrect an old idea for instance. Or find yourself travelling back somewhere you have been or lived in the past. Do obey the retro rules as while this new moon offers up a fresh chapter – it is certainly not a Get Out of Retro Jail Free card.

The same applies to those plans except in the case of a resubmission or reapplication. This moon’s inspirational links to retrograde Jupiter in your 11^th and retro Neptune in your 7^th, favours returning to finalise a conversation or putting the finishing touches to something outstanding. And yes, reconciliations and reunions too.

Something old is made new again. Perhaps by you having a fresh take on things, reinjected inspiration or simply now being in possession of something you were missing. You don’t see the point of withholding what’s on your mind, and your willingness to be forthright yet vulnerable encourages others to do the same. What you will take with you moving forward now is that assumptions are retro-petrol. Be they yours or the other party’s. And the only way to avoid lighting a bonfire of misunderstanding is to be willing to bare your soul and leave no room for misunderstanding. Or by using your Virgo fact-checking superpower to simply ask the right questions. There’s no better new moon under which to set things straight.

Still got something to say but not the opportunity to say it? Perhaps because the person you need to say it to is no longer in your life? Or simply need to draft a fresh chapter when it comes to that idea? Because this new moon marks an end and a release, you can do this by simply writing down what you want to say or would, read it back, bless it and then let it go. If this is a letter and you feel the need to burn it, then include this in your ritual. Case and chapter closed.

If it’s an idea, you know the drill. Write it out as it is right now. Then return to it once Mercury is direct. Does it still hold true? Is there more now to add (chances are there will be). You’ll be glad you waited if so. No matter what you want to communicate, share or send out, even under a retrograde influenced new moon, you always have a way to say it.

LIBRA

Release that scarcity mindset – be it around money or love, under this free-flowing new moon and Grand Water Trine. Or perhaps it’s an intangible you feel you don’t have enough of – time for instance? You tell yourself you would if you could – but you don’t, so you can’t. Another time perhaps. Time is elastic. Time is subject to perception. Think back to when you have been so immersed in doing something you totally lost track of time. How it felt almost like an out-of-body experience. Time stands still and when you do finally look at it, you are amazed at all you did in such a short amount of it. This tells you that it’s your take on time and in fact, you do have plenty of it.

Mindset is everything under this new moon when it comes to having enough or thinking there is never enough and never will be. That is because of its encounter with Mercury retrograde – and Mercury rules the mind and our ideas. Time is probably our most valuable asset as it is finite. And how we use it can dictate how we use to to gain more of whatever it is we are seeking to make from it – money and success for instance. So, value yours.

Despite the retrograde energy surrounding this new moon, there is no time like the present. So, look to what you have been putting off. Especially when it comes to anything to do with your money, income or which is linked to your values and self-worth. No, it may not yet be the right time to actually apply for that new job, but you can update your CV ready for when Mercury moves ahead rather than continuing to tell yourself you’ll get around to it. The same goes for preparing to launch that side hustle. Or is it something closer to home you’ve been avoiding? Such as having a conversation around how you are seen or treated for instance? Perhaps because your scarcity mindset has whispered that if you take a stand you may end up with nothing, so simply settle for the not-so-good and be grateful? This moon is all about the release. There’s nothing like letting scarcity go to feel really enriched. Retrogrades rule ‘re’ words. Respect? Priceless.

SCORPIO

This new moon is your annual rebirth – retrograde or not. When you rise again like the phoenix, pure, alive and glowing. But that doesn’t mean you may not have to first stand on the ashes of the past and look to what has burned away so you can glow brighter. You may have to take a stand and confront a pattern or someone’s behaviour first. This takes courage but – flame on, phoenix!

You will however be aware if anything needs to be dealt with. The energy of this new moon conjunct Mercury retrograde is intense and it would have been building to this ignition point. So, you will have been aware of any issues. Despite the new moon and retro Mercury’s opposition to Uranus in your 7^th, nothing should come as a surprise. Just conclusions.

The sun, moon and retro Mercury trigger a Grand Water Trine between Neptune in your 5^th and Jupiter in your 9^th – both retrograde. It’s an up, up and away release towards a fresh star you’re aiming for. And due to the retrograde energy, while this is a rest point for you, it may well have its links in your past. This time nothing is stopping you however. Nor will you allow it to.

Because this is a rebirth and relaunch, you see yourself differently. Who you now are and who you can become fuse into one soul – and one intention. Backtracking planets bring up missed opportunities with this Grand Water Trine. Keep in mind retrogrades rule ‘re’ words. Renewal which applies to you directly. And also rewrite – as in the stars for instance. It’s a new beginning that makes everything old not only new again but incredibly possible for you. Neptune brings you enchanted inspiration. Jupiter removes barriers and redelivers solutions. No matter when your actual birthday is – this new moon is the realignment to your potential and to your dreams that you have been waiting for. Fiery and free – burn away past restrictions (another ‘re’ word!), and get ready to soar!

SAGITTARIUS

You are the sign most likely to have got a head start on the ready-to-release energy of the new moon in Scorpio and your 12^th. For many of you, the process began in October when Mercury entered retroshadow in here. You’ve been confronting anything from that clutter to shedding those layers of inauthenticity you had to adopt purely to survive, Sag. So, by the time the new moon appears conjunct retro Mercury, you should already be feeling lighter, freer and retaining only what is relevant to your truth moving forward. If there is still residue to be worked through – residue being a ‘re’ word which retrogrades rule, be it lurking in your closet or an old fear, you are now ready to release it once and for all.

If something is swept away without conscious intervention on your part, do not try to stop it or cling to it. The moon and retro Mercury are in opposition to Uranus back in your 6^th. When you look closer you will see it was actually lived out a long time ago.

The moon creates a Grand Water Trine with ruler Jupiter in your 8^th and Neptune in your 4^th. Hidden truths and sacred blessings appear like lodestones under this new moon’s gentle illumination. Teasing out the truth for a sweet surrender and release. You may find yourself immersed in gratitude for the simple things of life for instance. Or feel intensely connected to the flow of life which surrounds you.

Keep in mind that gratitude along with joy, is one of the most potent forces in the universe. Both magnetise our desires. Yes, the simple things of life can hand us not only pleasure but in this case, create the perfect environment in which to receive more to be grateful for. ‘Re’ words are retrograde words. And we often forget ‘receive’ is one! And with your new cycle happening just two days after this new moon – you are entering a state of receptivity. The moon and the water trine planets are all in your houses of intuition, depth and spirituality. Continue with anything you need to release, Sag. The more space you clear now, the greater the space for more to be grateful for to move on in.

CAPRICORN

Some connections revive or deepen. Or undergo the metamorphosis of new relevance. Others fade. Just like your goals, Capricorn. Expect this to apply to both under the new moon in your 11^th – in opposition to Uranus in your 5^th.

It’s a retroactive new moon as it is conjunct retrograde Mercury and in opposition to retrograde Uranus in your 5^th. It also creates a Grand Water Trine between retrograde Neptune in your 3^rd and retrograde Jupiter in your 7^th. This is big revival energy. Hence it is more about what can be reinvented or renewed with fresh relevance. And what continues to evolve alongside you rather than something shiny and brand new.

Expect surprises. From that reach-out from someone you’ve not seen in a while to last minute invitations. And do engage, Capricorn. One revival may be simply you re-prioritising your social life or pleasure.

Go through your goals list. And as you do stop and check-in with the emotions attached to each one. Does even thinking about the process of manifesting it excite you? Then move on to how actually seeing it appear would make you feel. The most important thing here is your feelings about it. Because if going for it no longer creates that electric charge within you, then attaining it will leave you feeling oddly meh . . . If so, it may be time to let it go. Only retain the goals which make your heart beat faster.

Any edits performed by the universe now are designed to align you to both your people and your path. What you retain are the co-creators of your future and the wishes and dreams which evolve your soul. There’s a grand design coming together under this new moon. And it’s fuelled by authenticity, connectivity and your true purpose, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS

The new Moon conjunct retrograde Mercury in your 10^th is in direct opposition to ruler Uranus in your 4^th. This is about more than simply worldly ambitions. It’s about what you believe in. The emotional take-out of achievement and not just the rewards such as money, accolades, followers, recognition. In other words – success redefined. And very much your way.

However, those doors to success or public recognition could swing open wide now. Especially if you have shown your devotion or willingness to go the distance. But you do need to know the subtle difference between leaning in and pushing hard on a doorway that refuses to budge. If no matter how hard you have been knocking the doorway remains closed – or due to Uranus’ influence, one that was open suddenly slams shut – this is a sign you need to knock on a different door now.

Don’t doubt that the old saying: If one door closes, another one opens, applies if this occurs. Thanks to the Grand Water Trine formed by the moon to Neptune in your 2^nd and Jupiter in your 6^th. In fact, backtracking could find one swinging wide open with the slightest touch. If you have been thinking of moving jobs or seeking new clients – then re-approaching those you have contacted in the past could yield you a very different result this time around.

Above all, guard your public image and reputation. IRL and online. Ensure you act as your own best publicist. Mindfully craft everything from your appearance to what you say and send out like a PR strategist. Whether you are aware of it or not, someone or even more than one person is taking note. And yes, you ARE in a position to impress, Aquarius. Whatever you do however, don’t copy others. Instead seriously leverage your unique offering no matter what that is! Because it’s not only about success your way. It’s all about the way you serve it – which nobody else can simply because – there is no one like you!

PISCES

Both your rulers are entangled with the new moon in Scorpio and your 9^th house. A relationship could take a surprising turn due to the fact the new moon is conjunct love planet Mercury and opposing Uranus in your 3^rd. If travelling this week, you need to be especially mindful of the retro rules despite the fact Mercury will shortly head direct again. This is because old ruler Jupiter which rules mass transportation and long distance travel is also backwards. Increasing the chances of a major retrograde snafu along the way!

Minor retro red flag aside, the moon ushers in being in the right place at the right time, freedom, solutions, luck, opportunity and a touch of enchantment! Your faith in the power of love, the path you are travelling, or simply cosmic timing, is restored. Your worldview gently expands and your horizons broaden. You prepare to take a step into something bigger and also more soul restoring thanks to the Grand Water Trine formed by the new moon and your two rulers – Neptune in your sign and Jupiter in your 5^th.

An opportunity could return or back-tracking reveals a different road towards your dreams. If you are looking at taking a brand new path, you’ll be bringing with you a fresh perspective. And with this the knowledge there are no dead-ends. Just experiences you can leverage to get a better result next time.

Ease yourself into something bigger. But don’t rush. If you are looking at taking an actual journey or trip in the future, retro Tripadvisor tells you to hold off from booking it for now. And to wait until Mercury has cleared its retro-shadow in Sagittarius and your 10^th next month. But planning – totally allowed.

If your dream hasn’t happened – yet, this new moon/Grand Water Trine is telling you this is because it is too small. You need a bigger dream! There’s no better new moon than this to revise up those goals. Revisit your wishlist and supersize it. This is your house of luck. Pro tip – write the dream down as if you are living it right NOW. You are walking that beach, in that dream home and yes, caught up in that big love. If you can dream it, you can start living it in the moment. Do this and watch as big magic happens.
